Fall fashion tips…a conversation with Megan Kophs
Q. First things first,
what is your favorite color/color combo for fall 2014?
A. That is a tough one! I am drawn to both the metallic and navy
trends this season but for a true pop of color I am obsessed with red! The
quote "When in doubt, wear red" by Bill Blass comes to mind. It is
a confident and timeless color and it wardrobes effortlessly with almost any
neutral. It is easy to add a pop of red into your wardrobe with
accessories, shoes, a handbag, or to really make a statement try a red
coat.
Q. What is your favorite trend for fall 2014?
A. My favorite fall 2014 trend is the classic tailored lines and
simple shapes everywhere this season. Minimalist styles easily transition from
work to evening. I love the casual and modern look of an oversized wool coat
with a cropped pant or a midi skirt. Just add a cashmere sweater and pumps or a
heeled boot for a polished and sophisticated look.
Q. What is your style
philosophy?
A. As you develop your
personal style and understand what styles flatter your body, you can create a
wardrobe that reflects your signature look. Only keep or buy items that
make you feel confident and happy. What you wear gives others an instant snapshot
of who you are. It can be great way to express yourself so have fun with it and
let your personality shine through!
Q. What investment
pieces are you recommending to your clients for fall 2014?
A. I always recommend investing in great boots, perfect-fitting
denim and wool coats. These are items that you will wear over and over and will
carry you through the winter season. My absolute favorite boot trend for this
season is knee-high Stuart Weitzman boots. There are also some great suede
color options. They can be worn with dresses, skirts, leggings and skinny jeans
throughout the fall and winter seasons.
Q. How do you help
your clients look and feel their best?
A. I work with
my clients to assess wardrobe needs and tailor my services to fit
individual budgets, body types and lifestyles. Together we create goals for
developing a personal style which usually starts with a
closet consultation. My goal is to have every client feel confident
getting dressed and understand the styles, patterns and colors that will make
them look and feel their best every day.
Q. You do the working
mom thing so gracefully. What are your go-to items for transitioning throughout
the day?
A. Have fun with accessories and invest in great handbags and
shoes that fit your personal style. If you have staple pieces in your wardrobe
you can put together a very versatile outfit by sticking to the basics. Adding
a great tote, a necklace and the right shoes can pull together almost any
outfit from a t-shirt and jeans to basic pants and a cardigan. I can go from
volunteering in the classroom, to a client meeting, to date night by bringing a
great handbag, a scarf or a statement necklace, and change of shoes.
Q. Anything else you
want to share?
A. Every wardrobe needs essential neutral pieces that fit great.
These include timeless pieces that you can wear throughout seasons and you feel
great in. Some of my must- have essentials include: perfect fit denim, black
pant, white button up shirt, tees and camisoles, blazer, LBD, trench coat,
cashmere turtleneck, skirt, cardigan, riding boots, ballet flats and patent
heels. Once you have those key tailored pieces it is easy mix and match, add
seasonal trends, and accessorize without getting overwhelmed.
